Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 1c1
In the classic era of Hollywood cinema (1930-1945) the "cycles" or genres matured. They called them cycles which was a short term for stories that were similar. While we would recognize many of the genres as Westerns, Gangsters, Musicals, etc., often the cycles were significantly more specific. Instead of "Romantic Comedy" it might be "Boy-meets-girl-boy-loses-girl-boy-gets-girl" cycle.
